(Each of them have a few personal items that they want to keep forever & have "worked it out" between the 2 of them.)
After that, all of my collections go to a local San Antonio auction house, that is "well regarded" to be sold "at public cry".
After the auction, 75% of the net proceeds go to "D" & the other 25% passes to my daughter.
(On "D's passing", as we have no other "near family", my daughter receives the bulk of our joint estate, less a bequest to my boarding school.)
yours, tex
